Project description:Pseudomonas putida KT2440 (KT2440) has been established as an industrially relevant chassis for the production of the jet-fuel precursor isoprenol. However, the wild type KT2440 strain consumed isoprenol as sole carbon source and its growth is inhibited by isoprenol, which is an impediment to high titer, rate, yield production. In this study, we investigated genes responsible for isoprenol catabolism and the stress responses of Pseudomonas putida via RNA-seq.
